Hmmm... You have a point here.

I think that's probably the sanest place. Just when you upload, make
sure you --svn-tag.
A question: do you think it is a good idea to update the
debian/control Vcs fields to point to the branch directory ? My
opinion is that it should be, so that the control file of the package
uploaded to squeeze-security corresponds to the place where
development of that particular branch actually occurs.

Then, go ahead, you're welcome to document ;-)...
